I'm glad you like the idea.

I guess I can't really follow you there.
I wasn't able to remove the dependency on the GUI so easily.
My approach would probably be to extract these methods into separate files so they can be used by both the GUI and CLI.

Asked somewhat bluntly: Would it be possible to make these two tools available with a regular release of Free42/Plus42?
Most of the members in this forum are probably not able to compile them themselves.
Therefore, they would be happy if these were made available officially.

In the meantime I tried to compile the two programs with plus42desktop.
That worked, but when I let them run it results in a segmentation fault.
I haven't looked at it in detail yet, but I saw that the signature of core_init changed:

free42:

Code:

void core_init(int read_state, int4 version, const char *state_file_name, int offset);

plus42desktop:

Code:

void core_init(int *rows, int *cols, int read_state, const char *state_file_name);

This can not work of course but should be easy to fix.
